that should be cut -c1-140.

However, I am still getting unexpected results later on when I try to sent the 140 characters as an SMS:

   :0c
      | (formail -b -I"Subject: SMS" \
        -I"To: ${SMS}" \
        -I"From: ${LUSER}"; \
        echo $SMSTEXT) | $SENDMAIL -t

instead of getting the SMS text, I get the whole message. I suspect that flags for formail are incorrect, but it’s been so long since I used it.
